How the fuck am I supposed to read this, /lit/? Should I spend the time to slog through the first two books of formal logic properly, meticulously trying to understand every propositions and axiom, or is it mostly a waste of time? Would I be missing out if I were to just skim through the proofs and axioms and focus more on the actual commentary instead?

Yes. If you do that you are a brainlet and don't deserve to read serious philosophy

Just read an introductory book on Euclidean geometry.

Depends on your level. Trying to understand the demonstration and giving halfway through the first part would be a waste, because the last two part are the one with the most immediate impact on your life, even if you only get it partially because you don't understand where it comes from.
